Salam,
How I miss blogging.
I always intend to try hard to keep up with blogging. Writing in many ways, help me to ease my stress level. I love writing and pouring my own mind and daily life. But, oh..since kids are big and they tend to concern more into their privacy and our busy-ness of life, has made my interest goes up and disappear into thin air. But, I still wish, and keep wishing how I should have share and pour my mind and my experience (regardless people want to hear or not!) and hope that it can benefit some others.
I mean, I benefit a lots from reading other people blog. Browsing blog after blog and stories after stories from other people experience help me a lots to reflect my own daily life, decision and in whatever I am doing. I like to learn a lot from other people experience and way of doing thing. I just love to observe others behavior, pause, and rectify on the good and the bad, for my own life experience.
After the journey, my life can reach a stage or a time where I just feel like sleeping and eating only...my motivation can go down the drain and how I feel hard to break it back all over again..the journey sometimes take me a way into my own world...of travelling. I feel that normal life is so hard to negotiate with.
Only if my daughter willing to make decision to divert from ordinary routine life like others, willing to choose to gain knowledge through life experience than formal college life, I guess we will be hitting the road already...The kids, although they feel like the need of settling down, so do me myself, but one side of us feel something missing. Sometimes i feel something not right. I feel so much jealous reading other overland and travelling family. I just wan to hit the road soo much so.
Life is busy though. My eldest daughter start her college three weeks after we arrived back in UK with flight from Kuala Lumpur. I try hard for the first couple of month of settling back in UK, to convince my husband not to go for a job but setting up a business together. It was hard though as he never work on his own. he just type of people who need to be in the system and in organisation. While me with my flexibility might his life harder. But, after months, I manage to convince him to give it a go. And now we both are learning to work together..
Kids homeschool is progressing and not. Just how I feel....Three of them still on full time homeschool. The second one with dyslexic, which mean I am in no rush to push him. The plan is to try to get him to do some GCSE exam next year. The second and youngest one is also on full time homeschool. We do alright although might not be as much as others. I think every home edu mother always feel like we not doing as much as we should. After 8 years of homeschool, I guess I can be so relax with that. It's not about academically progress but life skill and strong foundation in faith and know how to achieve and survive. That is what important to me.
Recently, me and dear daughter Sumrah was looking back at my old blog, which at the moment is on private. It used to be on public. I have been blogging since 2007 and there are so many of my daily story that I share with. Therefore it become a record that we can look back...how kids grow fast and how things change while they grow...
For the time being, me and dear husband working together in our business of sending second hand furniture and other household item to Malaysia. As I have build the business since the last couple of years, I think it's time to seriously do it and getting my husband involve is something I need to get it run proper and expand. It can be a very business indeed. Fortunately as kids grow, they can help to attend for themselves on many thing and also help us around. Looking back into mystoryourlife old blog, I just don't know how I do it.
I will try to get back on here from time to time. may be write a bit at a time...I still on my way to get my travel book done! Time is really moving and I am sometimes in the mood of relaxing after that big journey!
